firefight problem

Games Other Halo
1

ok, I play halo reach’s firefight mode under matchmaking almost exclusively, and for the past two days, on ANY map, the second theres a few dead covenant, the framerate becomes extremely jerky, and sometimes the control command to response timing lags, eg I move to sidestep and a second later the character onscreen sidesteps.

every other mode but matchmaking plays as always, just fine.

the framerate has at times gotten bad enough its gotten me killed in situations I’d otherwise be able to get myself out of just fine.

I’m playing the downloaded edition of halo reach, with only the anniversary mappack.

edit:

I’m deleting both off my xbox harddrive and redownloading to see if that makes any difference.

I will also see if using the disc version of the game does anything.

using the disc version didnt make any difference, so I redownloaded the digital edition since that loads faster than installing the game off the disc ever did.

same difference, still laggy.

This is what is called Firefight Latency, the way Firefight & Campaign works with others online is you are all seeing EXACTLY what the host sees.

This is different from Matchmaking because if you are lagging, YOU will have a bad game and not everything needs to be in the same place.

Usually when the host is chosen, they have the best connection in the game and if you are lagging, you need to upgrade your Internet Package to prevent this from happening.
